CPTPP rate
HS 0709 covers other fresh vegetables — asparagus, aubergines, celery, mushrooms, chili peppers, and pumpkins/squash. Asparagus, celery, mushrooms, and Capsicum/Pimenta peppers each carry an in-season TRQ duty CPTPP eliminates; aubergines and pumpkins/squash are already Free at MFN.
Part of our Perishables commodity guide →What actually qualifies: wholly obtained
Fresh produce generally qualifies as CPTPP-originating under the simplest rule in the agreement: "wholly obtained" — grown or harvested entirely within a CPTPP member country's territory. There's no tariff-shift or regional-value-content calculation to run for a shipment of produce grown start-to-finish in a CPTPP country.
The real complexity in this category sits almost entirely on the tariff-rate-quota side — the seasonal import windows noted on several codes below — not on the origin determination itself.

Frequently asked questions
Canada's domestic asparagus harvest is a short seasonal window, and the TRQ schedule is set to reflect that — a shorter domestic season generally means a shorter in-season TRQ window on the import side too.
